Inventor: IKEDA SHIGEJI
IPC: H03H17/02
Filed: 1997-02-27
Abstract: An input signal is supplied to a tapped-delay line adaptive filter to produce tap signals which are equally divided into groups. The tap signals are selectively coupled on a per group basis through a switch to coefficient generators where tap-weight coefficients are produced. The selected tap signals are weighted respectively by the coefficients and summed together to produce a correction signal, which is combined with an output signal which is a replica of the input signal. The coefficients are updated with a residual error of the correction signal. Using the coefficients, the hopping order for selecting a tap group and the dwell time of the tap group are determined. Total power of the selected tap signals is monitored. When the monitored power is lower than a threshold value, the determination of the hopping order and dwell time is disabled and the residual error is nullified for fast convergence.

Abstract: This invention not only separates printing and
barcode checking as independent processes but also
simplifies printer processing to allow to print a large
number of barcodes at high speed and to satisfactorily
check barcodes. For this purpose, when a print control
circuit unit (501) receives print information including
a barcode, information associated with barcode checking
is transmitted to a barcode checker unit (601) prior to
printing. Upon actually printing an image including a
barcode, when the printed barcode is conveyed to the
position of a reader (603) in the barcode checker unit
(601), an RD_TRG signal is output to check the printed
barcode. Upon reception of this signal, the barcode
checker unit (601) reads the printed barcode a plurality
of number of times at different positions, and when the
normal reading ratio is low, it outputs an error signal
to the print control circuit unit (501).

Abstract: There is provided a semiconductor storage device
which impairs neither sensing sensitivity nor sensing speed
even when a number of memory cells are connected to an
extension bit line. A boosting circuit 40 boosts a voltage
at an input node 24 by a sensing sensitivity ΔV by a boost
signal bst0 from a selecting circuit 42, thereby providing
a potential difference ΔV between a voltage at the input
node 24 connected to a selected memory cell 52 of a memory
cell array 30 and a voltage at an input node 25 on a
reference side. A sense amplifier 21 amplifies the
potential difference ΔV between the input node 24 and the
input node 25 up to a voltage Vcc. Thus, a sufficient
sensing sensitivity can be obtained without reducing a precharge
voltage Vpre at the input node 24 to a reference
voltage. Therefore, a sufficient sensing sensitivity and a
rapidly sensing speed can be secured even with a great bit
line resistance existence due to the connection of a number
of memory cells to the extension bit line.

Abstract: There is described a method for cutting continuously supplied material such as,
for example, a strip, a round bar or other metal and non-metal products, intended
in particular for production with high feeding speeds of the material. Cutting is
performed by means of the blades arranged along the generatrices of two counter-rotating
drums (6, 7), that cut the material acting on opposite sides thereof when,
following to the rotation of the corresponding drums, they are positioned opposite
to each other. By causing the drums (6, 7) to rotate with respective angular speeds
of rotation which are different from one another, it is possible to phase-displace
the position of the blades relative to each other and prevent them, after the
material has been cut, from returning into the cutting position during the rotations
occurring immediately afterwards. 
     The invention also comprises a shearing device (1) for implementing the method,
in wherein a divider mechanism (3) with a gearing formed by two different
toothed wheels (81, 82) allows the respective angular speeds of the drums (6, 7)
to be obtained.

Abstract: At motor driven trucks where the load forks may reach forwards in relation to the truck this is done by means of a hydraulic cylinder (2). The volume of hydraulic oil fed to this cylinder is measured (7) via the voltage of an electric motor driving the hydraulic pump (1), the motor may in particular be a DC motor. By then integrating the voltage over the time a measure is obtained corresponding to the oil volume delivered to or drawn from the cylinder and corresponds in turn to the piston position. The position measurement is then used for speed ramping at the end of stroke of the piston so that shock free movement stops can be obtained.

Abstract: Novel compounds comprising chemically reactive intermediates which can react with available reactive functionalities on blood components to form covalent linkages, where the resulting covalently-bound conjugates are found to have thrombin inhibition activity are provided. Specifically, the thrombin inhibitor compounds of the present invention are derivatives of the known thrombin inhibitor argatroban, which can be covalently linked to chemically reactive functionalities on various blood components. The conjugated thrombin inhibitors thereby have extended lifetimes in the bloodstream, as compared to the unconjugated parent drug, and are, therefore, capable of maintaining thrombin inhibitory activity for extended periods of time as compared to the unconjugated parent drug. Also provided herein are methods for inhibiting thrombin activity in vivo comprising administering to the bloodstream of a mammalian host the novel compounds of the present invention.

Abstract: A branch portion 101 branches an inputted electrical
signal into an in-phase signal and an opposite phase
signal which have an opposite relation as to a phase.
A first FM laser 104 converts the in-phase signal into an
optical frequency-modulated signal (a first optical
signal) having a center wavelength λ1 and then outputs
the resultant signal. A second FM laser 105 converts the
opposite phase signal into an optical frequency-modulated
signal (a second signal) having a center wavelength λ2
and then outputs the resultant signal. The two optical
signals are combined and then inputted into an optical-electrical
converting portion 106. The optical-electrical
converting portion 106 subjects the inputted optical
signals to optical heterodyne detection by its square-law
detection characteristic, and outputs a beat signal
between the two optical signals which is a wide-band FM
signal at a frequency corresponding to a wavelength
difference  Δλ (=|λ1-λ2|)  between the first optical
signal and the second optical signal. It is thus
possible to increase frequency deviation of the outputted
FM signal and thus greatly improve a CNR.
